Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 464 Zhao Qingsuo

It can be said that the Ming Medical Association has produced an internationalist spirit that is somewhat surprising and puzzling in this era.Although the core idea of ​​the Ming Medical Association is to insist on the ethics of doctors treating the sick and saving lives, it is essentially a kind of Confucian benevolence, but as the Ming Medical Association really goes abroad in large numbers and displays their medical skills all over the world, there will inevitably be some satisfactory results. unintended consequences.

Bai Mingxiu believes that what the Ming Medical Association spreads is not just medical skills and hope for people to live, but also Chinese culture and influence.

During the period of great geographical discovery in the Western world, an important group of missionaries traveled all over the world. They went to those primitive and backward areas, built churches there, learned the local language, and lived with the local people.These missionaries often bring their own other skills. For example, the missionaries who came to China made their own achievements in fields such as astronomy and engineering. To some extent, they promoted the progress of local culture.Naturally, they also came with a purpose.

There is no omniscient and omnipotent god in Ming Dynasty, and there is no religion that wants to promote the world, but any country that wants to control the world needs its own spirit to be understood by other nations and be recognized to a certain extent.It is impossible for Ming to have missionaries, but Ming can have a group of doctors who are willing to go to every corner of the world to treat the common people.

This is the origin of the Ming Medical Association.

The Ming Medical Association was not created by a doctor full of benevolence and internationalism. Its birth was not accidental, but it was always full of wild imaginations, and Bai Mingxiu, who likes to do tricks, was born on a certain day. Decided to do something like this.

Although no one knows, it is true.The original intention of the Ming Medical Association was not to "save all the sick people in the world", but to let a group of doctors with a high moral image and rescue the suffering to export positive things about the Ming Dynasty to the world.

There is no kindness greater than the kindness of survival, and people from different regions can naturally feel that kind of spiritual power when they come into contact with this group of "perfect people" of the Ming Medical Association. The benevolence in Chinese culture, the advanced medical technology of Ming Dynasty, the A tolerant social atmosphere, these things will cause people in these places to be full of good imagination and recognition of Daming.

On the one hand, Daming is indeed passing on blood and fire to the world, but on the other hand, it will also give the world the glory of life.

In fact, after Zhao Qingsuo came to Persia, the first patient he treated was not an ordinary person, but Abbas II himself.The health of Abbas II has been deteriorating. In history, he will die in 1666. Since then, Safi Persia has turned from prosperity to decline. In fact, the Shah is only 33 years old this year.

Zhao Qingsuo cured the infection that plagued Abbas II with only simple antibiotics.Abbas II hoped to appoint Zhao Qingsuo as a court physician, but Zhao Qingsuo refused. Liang Haisheng also explained to the Shah that Zhao Qingsuo, as a doctor of the Ming Medical Association, hopes to serve the majority of patients , and Daming will guarantee the smooth development of Zhao Qingsuo's humanitarian work, instead of becoming an imperial doctor who only serves the king.

Abbas II still couldn't understand why some people would reject the splendor and wealth, but were willing to open an inconspicuous clinic on the streets of Isfahan, treating many people every day, and working so hard.But such a person is worthy of respect in any culture, so Abbas II gave Zhao Qingsuo the title of a miracle doctor, and sent Persia to follow the Chinese miracle doctor to take care of his life in Isfahan, And learn his medical skills.

Zhao Qingsuo declined the offer of a luxurious mansion and only took the reward of gold and silver to build a clinic.After the Ming Dynasty Global Fleet left, Zhao Qingsuo lived in Persia for 16 years, and later lived in India for nine years. He returned to his hometown in the Ming Dynasty only in his old age.In order to commemorate this great doctor from China, the Persians later named a street Zhao Qingsuo Road in almost every city. The highest medical school in Isfahan was named after him. In Persia and India , there are more than 200 statues of Zhao Qingsuo in total.His story even appeared in Persian high school textbooks, and he was later included in a list of the one hundred greatest men of the seventeenth century.

At least for now, people don't know what he will achieve in the future. When his story spreads in the fleet, there are still many people who express their confusion.Although the establishment of the Ming Medical Association was done by Bai Mingxiu with a political purpose, Bai Mingxiu still has great respect for these doctors with great and lofty ideas.The reason why they can spread the nobility of Chinese culture is that they are great people themselves.

When Bai Mingxiu left Persia, he specially asked the consulate who had stayed in Persia to take good care of Ming people like Zhao Qingsuo who stayed in Persia.Daming will have countless overseas interests in the future, and tens of thousands of Chinese will work, do business and visit abroad. Daming must have an effective and powerful consular system to protect their personal and property safety.

Unlike the Ming and Qing emperors in history who ignored the rights and interests of Chinese who went abroad to survive, Nanming regards the people as the country, and every national victim abroad is the country's victim, and must not be tolerated.

The Global Fleet entered the Persian Gulf after leaving Safi Persia. This area is already the sphere of influence of the Ottoman Empire, but the Turks did not have a strong fleet here, so it was not until the Ming Global Fleet was in another plane. Dubai's location landed without encountering opposition.

The Arabian Peninsula is a barren land, one of the most hopeless lands in the world before the age of oil.The Arabs living here live a nomadic and business life. They drive goats, camels and Arabian horses, or plant date palms on the oasis. Because the conditions are too harsh, they must often go out to trade. A wild nature and a reputation for being good at doing business.

This area is not controlled by the Ottoman Empire. Strictly speaking, there is no kingdom. Its neighbors are Baghdad Province of the Ottoman Empire and Oman.

Bai Mingxiu is very interested in the oil in the Persian Gulf. After this round-the-world voyage is over, the technology tree of the electric age civilization will be opened. At that time, Da Ming will be a country that sits on cars. Da Ming must obtain cheap oil supply.

Daming will base itself on the Dubai area and establish a stronghold. At this period, it will only be used for trade. However, Daming will obviously expand its territory to the entire Persian Gulf coast and to Iraq.

The soldiers of the Ming army built a simple pier and a reinforced concrete fortress in Dubai, but what Bai Mingxiu placed here was not a well-organized Ming army, but a bodyguard regiment of more than a hundred people. .
